"...one of Sarah's talents is condensing a lot of could-be confusing
information into relevant bullet points that are what you need to know
right now, whether it's knowing your rights as a patient during stroke
recovery, how to deal with the myriad health-care workers with whom
you'll have to interact during a vulnerable time, or something more
mundane and yet life-changing (for women, at least) like how to don a
bra when you're essentially one-handed so you can wear the pretty bits
instead of resigning yourself to a life of ugly,pullover sports bras.
The information is presented in a light-hearted, conversational tone and
includes a number of personal anecdotes with which others in recovery
are sure to relate."

"I can say this should be handed to every patient who has a stroke.
And I can personally attest that Sarah has mentored me through how to
manage a one-handed life when I broke my arm, so I know she knows what
she is talking about. Furthermore, the instructions in Appendix A saved me."
